As an american, he really did a great job here. Even most chinese can't sing at that high level.

太棒了!

His name is William Boyd and there are a number of articles about him online. He is married to a Chinese woman and she and her family taught him several Jiangnan-area dialects, which he apparently picked up very quickly. He's quite a talent.

@zjlzz I hope everyone will not have this "foreign moon is rounder" attitude. While one westerner can speak & sing in Chinese, think about thouands of Asians can speak & sing in fluent English !!

excellent,his accent is perfect
-
Well, obviously, he's NOT a foreigner. He must have lived in China, and exposed to life there, in his early years.
ASo, people, he may look Western, but inside in his heart, he's Chinese.
That's what it seems to me.

I never thought that the YueJu would be that beautiful till I heard William's perform. The most beautiful song I've heard recently. Thanks for the post.

Hi,I don't know his full name, I will check and tell u. I can't say he sing perfectly cuz his pronunciation still need to be refined. Anyway, for a foreign friend it's really great! Even Chinese especially from north cannot pronunce correctly or sing so well.
